Sharp turns in terms of diet

Protiens start doing more harm than good when a person approaches fifty years of age. This trouble is comparatively more with men as compared to women. People with lean bodies may also be less prone to uric acid related issues caused by a protein rich diet.

The vegetables that a young boy hates the most are Gheea, Sitaphal, Ramtori, Tinda etc. Normally children become annoyed when they learn that their mothers have cooked Kaddu for them. But strangely enough these are the best for people nearing fifty. A teenager prefers Rajma. Moongi Chana dal, Masoor dal, Kalachana masala or Kabuli Chana masala. It is all because protiens are body builders and he needs them immensely.

Some people in rural Punjab tend to put their bodies on drugs like opium or poppy husk to deal with the health related issues. That causes a huge weight loss and the problems seem to get subsided . But that method takes away all the glow from their faces along with the respect in society. Moreover a person enslaves himself to his daily requirement of the dosage of the drug. Withdrawl is out of question in most cases.

When most of the things tend to become harmful for health one has to choose between the less harmful ones over the more harmful ones. According to me eating Chapati with a bit of Desi ghee and Achar (pickle) is better than eating with Dal in case there is no vegitable dish in the house. A slight amount of Gurr or sugar after the meal gives a feeling of fulfillmeant when the diet is frugal. Although both Ghee and sugar are not very good for an aging person but usually overtake of protein is the least desirable thing. There is no denying the fact that diet requirement varies according to a person"s body composition but in general the reqirement of protein declines considerably when a person nears fifty. What a sharp turn in terms of diet a person has to take at this age !
